When comedian Redd Foxx needed to pay his legal fees during his IRS troubles, he handed his lawyer a heavy gold watch. It had been sitting in a safe for over 30 years—until this incredible appraisal in Las Vegas!

In this stunning Antiques Roadshow appraisal, Laura Woolley examines a piece with the ultimate "compound provenance". This isn't just a beautiful watch; it's a piece of entertainment history gifted from the King of Rock 'n' Roll to a comedy legend.

Video Highlights:

The Incredible Story: The owner represented Redd Foxx from 1989 to 1991 and accepted the watch as payment.

The Inscription: The back of the watch is engraved with: "To REDD From ELVIS Hilton Hotel 1977". Ironically, 1977 is the same year Elvis passed away.

Over-the-Top Design: Made of nearly 170 grams of 18-karat gold, it features high-quality diamonds and sapphires. The scrap gold value alone is nearly $10,000!

The Jaw-Dropping Value: A conservative auction estimate places this masterpiece between $80,000 and $120,000!
